Interesting sidepod on the FW46

attachment.php
 
so that is another side pod inspired by last years RB.

but RB have not gone in the same direction this year they went the way the Zero pod forced Merc to go last year.

so is that because Neuwey looked at the merc and went "I can fix it"?
is it a troll and not at all going to be the car that launches at the start of the season?
or worse is it that they are relying on Simulator data (like Merc did) and then when it comes to actual on track testing the side pods do not work as intended when the air pressure around the track fluctuates so much?

I really really hope its the last one, so there will be a competative season.
I am not paying for F1 TV again to watch one team win all but one race, I don't care who that team is

Let me guess, you're watching the shakedown from the Williams garage, drink in hand, pitbabe fanning you with a palm frond while feeding you strawberries?

Gary Anderson is not impressed with the SF24: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/gary-anderson-ferrari-sf-24-f1-car-verdict/

"... Overall, there's a few nice things and it's a tidy car - but I don’t think I’m seeing a lot of innovation that will take Ferrari to the top of the pile.

Again, it’s the parts that we don’t see that will really make the difference - but the parts that we do see influence the flow structure that allows those hidden parts to work to the maximum.

I’m a Ferrari fan, but I have to say I expected just that bit more."

Ferrari already had a fast car over a single lap last year. The problem was they couldn't translate that into speed over a race distance due to them chowing these cheese Pirelli tyres.

They really didn't need to reinvent the wheel with their 2024 car. Whether whatever they've come up with is enough to beat Red Bull is doubtful though. They had an enormous advantage over a race distance.
